Draysons

Draysons is a fictional family appearing in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. The family was introduced in the 2007 episode "Smith and Jones" and subsequently featured in "The Lazarus Experiment" and "The Sound of Drums" in the same year. The core members of the Drayson family depicted are Martha Jones, her mother Francine Jones, her father Clive Jones, and her siblings Leo and Tish.

Martha Jones is the primary protagonist associated with the Drayson name, serving as a companion to the Tenth Doctor. Her family's interactions with the Doctor often highlight the personal stakes and emotional impact of his adventures. Francine Jones, Martha's mother, initially harbors a strong distrust of the Doctor, viewing him as a dangerous influence on her daughter. Clive Jones, Martha's father, is a more supportive figure but is caught in the crossfire of the family's complex relationships and the Doctor's extraordinary life. Leo and Tish are Martha's younger siblings, whose safety and well-being are often a concern for Martha and the Doctor.

The Drayson family's storyline explores themes of family loyalty, courage, and the challenges of maintaining a normal life when intertwined with alien encounters and extraordinary events. Their experiences in "The Sound of Drums" are particularly significant, as they become directly involved in the conflict against the Master. The family's resilience and their eventual understanding of the Doctor's role in the universe are key elements of their arc.
